We know drama. AKA meme time!

Aug 13, 2012 14:46

I hate drama. Not television drama, which I love, because it's not real and it's not happening to me and I can walk away from it at any time. I hate real-life drama, which is harder to escape and leaves me feeling drained and raw and unsteady. I've been dealing with personal drama on several fronts lately and it is exhausting. And what I really ( Read more... )

I guess I’ll allow it ( ... )

I loved this whole fic, but the scene setting was just awesome... so ( ... )

This fic was written for one of your prompts, so you're totally culpable for this one. I just ... LOVED the prompt. I was trolling comment_fic looking for something that inspired me and I saw this one and thought YES ( ... )

I think it's very interesting to read this explanation - especially since the 'behavior' you describe of your husband sounds like the same I've read in fanfic about Eliot a lot. Of course put into words by someone who not only actually knows what they're talking about, but also has the ability to use the right words to to so, makes it even better!

You're very sweet! I'm pretty sure my husband would be absolutely mortified to discover how much I've stolen from his life for my Eliot fics. LOL. It is more than just this fic.

One of my top 5 fics of all time is Undrowning. I can't not think about that fic when I think of Cordy's arc. So, I'd love to get inside your head on a part of it (sorry, a little more than 500 words ( ... )

It’s been a lot of years since I wrote this fic, but it’s also extremely personal and the very first thing I ever wrote that I was actually proud of, so every word is sort of indelibly imprinted in my memory. It means a lot to me that it seems to have touched people so much, and I’m particularly moved that you’d pick it ( ... )

Wow, you even managed to make me cry by your explanation.

I do believe that the BtVS crowd would not have made the trip for her funeral just on a character level regardless of network considerations. They just were not the same people (none of them) and there was too much time and distance to span. Perhaps there might have been flowers and condolences, but little more.

I never thought much about Angel not listening to Wes' eulogy. I just attributed it to his mind being engulfed by memories of Cordelia. And while I still believe that's part of it, I do see and like your motivation as stated. Wes and Cordy's bond was strong and hearing Wes' heartbreak as well as feeling his own might have been too much to take.

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this fic with me. I'm honored. :)

I kept barely under the 500 words mark (I actually checked, lol). I love this fic ( ... )

This fic was a weird one for me. I wrote the whole thing in like 2 or 3 days, which may actually be some kind of record for me. I NEVER write that fast. And I didn’t work from an outline, which is also unusual for me for a longer fic like this. And while I love to read whump, this is the first time I ever set out to write a fic rooted so squarely in that genre ( ... )
